Thanks so much for your reply. kindly see below how my period have behaved for last five months

ANSWER

23 + 21 + 23 + 23 '/. 4 = 22.5As it is you have a period circle of 23 days. so unsafe days becomes 23 divide by 2 plus/minus 4 which brings the answer to 7 and 15 . The above calculation simply means that between day 7 and 15 of your periods you are likely to get pregnant.It important that you know this nobody really have sharp date that if its 30 days then periods come after thirty days every month, there are always that variation of one to two days. as for The 16 days of January that could as a result of stress psychological ,sickness or drug induced e.g contraceptives pills OR it could sign of pregnancy called spotting so consider doing a pregnancy test.If you have unprotected sex (though don't unless otherwise e.gmarried ) outside the bracket of your unsafe days you are unlikelyto get pregnant.Fill free to contact as many times if you have any further questions
